JAMES POOLE, OF NEXV YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JAS. INGRAM,OF NILV YORK, N. Y.

GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 32,738, dated July 2, 1861.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES POOLE, of the city and State of New York, haveinvented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improvementin Gas-Burners; and I do hereby declare'that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the nature of my said invention,reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of thisspecification, wherein- Figure l, is a. vertical section of my burner inlarge size, and Fig. 2, is an elevation of my deflecting buttonseparately from the burner. Y

Similar characters denote the same parts.

Many gas burners have heretofore been constructed in which valves,diaphragms and other devices have been introduced to check the flow ofgas to the burner; almost all of these required the whole burner to beconstructed with special reference to the regulating apparatus.

The nature of my said invention consists in a deflector buttonconstructed in a peculiar manner and introduced with a peculiardiaphragm of wire gauze into any ordinary burner, so that the gas is notonly retarded and equalized in pressure, but is also heated while in theburner by the heat of said burner, instead of passing so rapidly throughthe same as to be cold or nearly so upon reaching the flame; thuspromoting` the perfect combustion of the gas.

In the drawing a, is the burner of any desired character and the openingat the end thereof may be a slit or holes, for producing either a batwing l or fish tail flame.

Z), is a deflector button fitted within the burner by a screw threadformed therein as represented. This deflector is formed with a centralhole l, with branch side holes 2, 2, beneath the button head top .3.

c, is a diaphragm of wire gauze near or resting upon the top of thebutton 3, and (Z, is a concave valve or disk between the wire gauze anda second piece of gauze e.

The gas in passing through the button b, is deflected horizontally, andthe wire gauze c, and c, checks any sudden How of gas, and the concavedisk (Z, also aids in directing the gas toward the inner' sides of theburner, which burner being heated raises the temperature of the gas,hence the saine is more easily and perfectly consumed.

My whole device is cheap and easily applied to any burner.

That I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-H The deflectingbutton 7), wire gauze (c, 0,) and disk (I, applied in the gas burner inthe manner and for the purposes specified.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this eighth day ofApril 1861.

JAMES POOLE.
